Per Janet's instructions:

STEP 1 - For the small flying geese units, Trim the flying geese units to measure 1 ½” x 2 ½”.
For the large flying geese units: Trim these units to measure 2 ½” x 4 ½”.

STEP 3 – For the center square: trim the appliqued square to 2 ½” x 2 ½”.

These pieces all fit together perfectly! The block now measures 8-1/2" x 8-1/2" and will finish at 8" square.

AndreeBergeron OFFLINE Posts: 722 Thank you received: 100	I see in step 3 to "Trim the appliquéd square to 2-1/2 x 2-1/2. It would then fit the 2-1/2 Flying geese. Hope that helps... Andrée

I have finished the letter "J" without any problem, but I cannot say the same for the letter "e". If I make the lime green block 3" X 3", it does not fit flying geese measuring 1 1/2" X 2 1/2". The video showed using the flying geese bloc loc, but the size for 1 1/2" is 3". I tried adjusting the geese and the squares to fit the 3" lime block, but got stuck again with the next flying geese that are not large enough. Are their corrections to the measurements?????
